INSIDE

1. WHAT PANADOL PERIOD PAIN TABLETS DO

Panadol Period Pain Tablets are faster absorbed than standard paracetamol and caffeine tablets and are used for the relief of period pain, backache, migraine, headache, rheumatic pain and toothache. They also relieve sore throat and the fever, aches and pains of colds and flu.

The tablets contain two active ingredients. Paracetamol is a painkiller and also reduces your temperature when you have a fever. Caffeine acts to further help the effectiveness of paracetamol.

2. CHECK BEFORE YOU TAKE PANADOL PERIOD PAIN TABLETS

Do not take Panadol Period Pain Tablets:

• if you have ever had an allergic reaction

to paracetamol, caffeine or to any of the other ingredients (listed in Section 4).

If you are taking other medicines

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking these tablets if you are taking any prescribed medicines; particularly metoclopramide or domperidone (for nausea [feeling sick] or vomiting [being sick]) or colestyramine (to lower blood cholesterol), if you take blood thinning drugs (anticoagulants e.g. warfarin) and you need to take a pain reliever on a daily basis, talk to your doctor because of the risk of bleeding. But you can still take occasional doses of Panadol Period Pain Tablets at the same time as anticoagulants.

Pregnancy and breast feeding

Due to the caffeine content of this product it should not be used if you are pregnant or breast feeding.

3. POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS

Like all medicines Panadol Period Pain Tablets can have side effects but not everybody gets them. A small number of people have had side effects. Stop taking the medicine and

tell your doctor immediately if you experience:

• Allergic reactions which may be severe such as skin rash and itching sometimes with swelling of the mouth or face or shortness of breath

• Skin rash or peeling, or mouth ulcers

• Breathing problems. These are more likely if you have experienced them before when taking other painkillers such as ibuprofen and aspirin

• Unexplained bruising or bleeding

• Nausea, sudden weight loss, loss of appetite and yellowing of the eyes and skin.

If you do get any side effects, even those not mentioned in this information, tell your doctor or pharmacist.
